Adolf Hitler painting may have hung in Sigmund Freud's surgery

[Auric Hellman]

Hitler was a very talented artist, therefore it shouldn't be a surprise that
such an highly respected man like Sigmund freud would have a painting of his
in his personal collection.

Adolf Hitler painting may have hung in Sigmund Freud's surgery



The Jewish psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud might have had a painting by Hitler
hanging on the wall of his office, it has been disclosed.








A watercolour by the German dictator has come to light that has an
inscription on the back that bears the name of Freud's medical practice in
Vienna.

While Freud was based in the Austrian city in 1910 it is possible he or one
of his staff bought the picture from the struggling artist.

Hitler was a jobbing painter at the time, knocking out postcards and
paintings and trying to make a living.

This painting, that measures 8in by 4in, shows what looks like a small
church with a background of mountains and is signed "A Hitler 1910."

On the reverse are the Italian words: "Studio Medico Sigmund Freud Vienne."

Hitler was a very talented artist,

He wasn't accepted by the art school in Vienna, for LACK OF TALENT. His
"talent" only sufficed for those stupid postcards. He also thought he was a
great architect and later even thought he was a great general (driving some
of his generals up the wall with his idiocy).

I was speaking only of his artistic talent, not his shortcomings as a person
or leader. Hitler was obviously not another Picasso but apparently enough
people thought enough of his work to make a purchase. I have no doubt that a
man of Freud's education and social status would have discriminating taste.
He certainly wasn't buying it because it was a 'Hitler', in 1910 nobody knew
who he was yet. Non-acceptance at a Vienna art school for lack of talent is
inconsequential; basketball legend Michael Jordan did not make his high
school basketball team as a sophmore for 'lack of talent'. Sometimes talent
takes time to mature.

Well, you are free to keep considering him artistically "talented". This is
all pretty subjective. Fact is, that he NEVER succeeded artistically and
that he never got beyond those stupid postcards.

Another clear sign of his lack of true artistic talent is his ridiculous
"Germanic (or Teutonic) art" that he imposed on Germany, which is an
agglomoration of tastelessness and artistic baseness. I strongly suspect
that the responsibles at the Vienna art school intuitively and competently
assessed his primitivity when they didn't accept him.

Just let me add that Hitler was rejected TWICE by the Vienna art school (in
1907 and in 1908).
